Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Nitrogen rates increased plant height and tiller number, with stated cut exceptions.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen rate did not significantly affect leaf to stem ratio.
- Intervention effect Green forage yield rose with nitrogen rates except at the third cut of the first season.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen up to 75 kg N/fed increased dry forage yield in the specified cuts and combined results.
- Intervention effect Cutting height affected tiller number, with higher counts at 20 cm in second and third cuts.
- Intervention effect Cutting height significantly influenced leaves per area and leaf area index, subject to cut exceptions.
- Intervention effect Cutting height significantly affected leaf to stem ratio in specified cuts.
- Intervention effect Cutting height significantly affected green and dry forage yields, with a dry yield exception.
- Intervention effect The nitrogen by cutting-height combination of 60–75 kg N/fed and 20 cm yielded the highest forage yield, 30.7 ton/fed.
